It is a report from Ethnologue.
You can see the report here:
https://www.ethnologue.com/insights/ethnologue200/It is the 14th most spoken language in the world right now.
The report is for all countries in the world. Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo and other languages are also there. Visit the above link to search if the language that you are speaking is there, but I think just English, Pidgin, Hausa, Yorùbá and Igbo are there that is related to us.
Isn't the 120.7m for Pidgin English underestimated? Tha value alone should be from Nigeria of over 200m population where more than 70-80% understand and speak Pidgin English as second language and we still have other West Africa countries that also speaks and understand English pidgin so I think it should be up there in Top10.
Hausa language is another language that is widely spoken across Africa by millions.
If I am not mistakenly almost everyone in our country speaks pidgen English and some other sub countries wetin us also understood and speak pidgen as well. For sure, Hausa is another well known and understood language that is also been used across other African countries and worldwidely.
